Description

Hinckleys, established in the 1930s, is the next best thing since camping. The traditional camping cabins are located in a wooded setting, two miles from the entrance of Acadia National Park and four miles to the town of Bar Harbor in Maine. Each of the 29 cottages has its own individual charm, so if you are looking for the budget price, or would like to have a modern renovated cabin, the choice is available. No two cottages are the same; some have screened porches, fireplaces, kitchens, two and four bedrooms, two bathrooms and there is an option for a few with living space. Pets welcomed in selected rooms. A true Maine tradition can be experienced at Hinckleys, and if a swim at Sand Beach is too cold,there is a heated pool next to the playground within the six acres of property.

A couple hours into the trip it began raining again, and raining hard. There was no heavy traffic but after about 3 hours of driving I was getting restless. And the tolls! I knew I'd have tolls on the highways of this ...

... we arrived on the coast we had lobster rolls for lunch from a stand along the road and they were great! And for dinner we had , yes, you guessed it lobster!! The really cool thing about our lobster dinner was that the campground host cooked it and the lobster was delivered to our campsite, for only $8.00 a lb. Harrington was very small quiet town and we really enjoyed it.

After the three days in Harrington , we arrived at our campground at ...

... the koa parking lot and we were here kinda. The park office is on county rd which is park on the rt and residential area on the lt. Well I wasn't paying attention and drove right past the turn to our ocean side site so around we went again across the causeway and back to the park. Found our site and are backed happily against the ocean we shall see in the morning if its 30ft away at low tide or high tide we haven't decided but ...

... under the eye of an audience numbering about 320 people! Up till then, we’d been presenting to classrooms of 8-10 people. Luckily, we didn’t have to speak, just stand there looking pretty, and then were able to talk to anyone interested afterwards and help fill out applications. We had 15 filled out that day - and ran out of time! Quite the learning experience, and worth the 2 hour drive to get there. Upon returning, the Buffalo CAPers and campus staff took a breather ...
